The switches lists speed the deck up and make it win through an easy and efficient combo, all fetchable by Yisan. The combo uses
Great Oak Guardian
,
Temur Sabertooth
, and
Wirewood Symbiote
. With these and enough mana producing creatures, you get infinitely large creatures or with 1 more mana, infinitely large creatures and infinite mana, and untaps which can be put into Yisan to fetch Caterhoof and give the team trample.

I know your theme is the sea creatures to go with the flavor of Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle, but I have found that straying form that slightly is extremely helpful in making a good Arixmethes deck because I have one haha. For creatures I find it fitting to keep the blue ones with the sea creature tribal, but you should try to expand your green creatures out a bit to help out your game plan. Cards such as Beast Whisperer and Pathbreaker Ibex can do wonders in this deck. If you would like any more suggestions I am always down to help out.

Hey I love Arixmethes as a commander and was wondering how set in stone you were on it being tribal. Because I’ve been helping my friend build an Arixmethes deck this past week and I found that occasional splashes of other creatures is very helpful (especially on the green side). Cards like Pathbreaker Ibex and Beast Whisperer can often feel like must haves in a deck like this. Some other card draw options that add some depth to the deck could be something like Elemental Bond or Primordial Sage.

For me she has been amazing, if you drop Craterhoof Behemoth or attack with Pathbreaker Ibex you can then use her mana generation in your 2nd main phase or in conjunction with kamahl and guarantee a kill on a couple players.

Another option is adding Primalcrux to your deck. It pair's perfectly with selvala due to the high devotion the deck achieves. When I ran it, those 2 cards were my favorite combo to grab with Defense of the Heart.

The deck is built to draw a ton of cards and it pretty much always does. The only thing that can get in our way is, when we keep a starting hand without something for card draw, we don't draw anything similar and our creatures (which were to kill Grothama) will be removed. In this case a cheap early card draw spell like Life's Legacy or Hunter's Insight could be really useful. (When i built the deck, i was also considering those two but simply forgot to put them to the Maybeboard.

The Great Aurora - I've never seen this card before and I'm not quite sure if we need more lands on the battlefield, when we can already cast a 9 mana spell. The card draw is pretty sweet tho combined with Psychosis Crawler. (And you are right, the deck makes it easy to have a handsize of 20+ cards.)

I can only recommend Grothama, All-Devouring if you like card draw and smashing face with big hitters. She definitely has a unique ability which you can't find on any other card in magic. Beside Barktooth Warbeard, Grothama is my favorite EDH deck.

Do bear in mind I have no idea what your meta, usual play-style, or budget is like when asking these questions. I am considering Grothama versus Ghalta for a green stompy build, so I'm kinda just throwing out ideas that I might use for either one.
